I do love a good dance movie, preferably one with a predictable formula. This has it, but the emotional stakes are strong, even if the plot is one used in so many other films. The dances are beautiful, the music makes you want to dance with the film and the performances are all on point. … Continue reading Natyam (2021) – Change is for Growth

Karnan (2021) – An Epic of Small Proportions
I do love "punching up" stories, where those who are oppressed are fighting against powers stronger than them - Les Misérables, all those kinds of stories. This movie has to be one of my favourites of that kind. Not only is it artistic, very Masala and epic in the best of ways possible. Also, the … Continue reading Karnan (2021) – An Epic of Small Proportions
Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021) – A Step in the Right Direction
I will just assure any doubting here to watch this movie if it feels like it is for you. It is well made, has heart and strikes you with emotion. It made me happily cry so many times! Oh, it also has a happy ending!! So no need to worry about the angst too much. … Continue reading Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021) – A Step in the Right Direction
The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) – The Ending Satisfies The Frustration
So, I am back watching Indian films. Maybe it is the current winter holiday's, the change of scenery and the atmosphere but I am back at it. This movie was many times said to be one the best of the year from Malayalam cinema and I can see why. As the title says I found … Continue reading The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) – The Ending Satisfies The Frustration
Atrangi Re (2021) – Love, Sacrifice and Magic
Aanand L. Rai is an odd director for me. I have only seen his Raanjhanaa (2013) and even that was a long time ago. The Tanu Weds Manu movies did not appeal to me (except one song from the second movie) and I doubt I will ever watch them now. Zero (2018) was one I … Continue reading Atrangi Re (2021) – Love, Sacrifice and Magic
Last Night in Soho (2021) – Mirror Images and Broken Fantasies
There are very few occasions when I say that it seems like a movie was crafted for me. This is one of those moments. It ticks all the boxes I love when it comes to horror. I will give already a warning for a lot of blood, flashing neon lights and many cases of sexual … Continue reading Last Night in Soho (2021) – Mirror Images and Broken Fantasies
2021 – Well, The Last Year Certainly was Something
Hello! I know I abandoned this blog for a LONG time...like almost over a year. There was just something that felt so much like work, not fun for a while and then the whole COVID-19 thing happened (and is still happening) and the world became quite chaotic. I just needed to take time off for … Continue reading 2021 – Well, The Last Year Certainly was Something
